Josh Kretschmann: head instructor with over 20 years experience in Muay Thai and Boxing. I was first introduced to the martial arts at the age of 7, when I studied Akido, which I continued for about 4 years. I wanted a little more contact, so I enrolled in Tae Kwon Do and studied it for 3 years under Robert Taberna. In 1997 I ran across a Muay Thai program being offered through a work associate who had been training with the instructor and he encouraged me to attend one class. The instructor's name was Carlos Moreno, now Arjan Carlos Moreno. I fell in love with Muay Thai instantly, because it is so functional to real combat. The conditioning was challenging and the power that was involved blew my mind. That is where my Journey started and I have trained, competed, and am now instructing Muay Thai since 1999. There is a ranking system offered at Jaguar Muay Thai, which allows every student to progress at a comfortable pace. I also have been a Personal Trainer since 1999 and have used that knowledge to develop a program that will not only cover the technical aspect of the training, but also cover a wider range of goals such as weight loss, overall conditioning, adaptation to previous injuries etc.
